The congress will focus on how the city provides a platform concerning all from architecture to economy, from art to religion, from ethics to politics, from science to philosophy, with reference to the role it plays in the maturation and enrichment of cultural life.

Philosophical thinking, which arises from the heart of the city, expresses a different aspect regarding life, goings-on, existent and the world. The city provides basis for not only philosophy but for everything that is humane. There exists a quite broad literature on the notion of City and what city itself is. However, there is a need to think again about the relation of the City and Philosophy.

The city is the place where philosophical thinking finds a living and expression space for itself. Philosophy reveals itself in the city both by flourishing in its relation with art, religion and politics and by being a thinking activity on all these areas. Philosophy is the promising child of the city. The city, which is the best place that culture expresses itself, provided a basis for philosophy to be born and shaped as well.
